29 The Brock monument
The Brock monument
This graceful shaft marks the site of the battle of Queenstown Heights, October 13. 1812, where an American force of 2.500 Militia and a regiment of Regulars attacked the British, under the command of General Isaac Brock. The Americans were defeated and their Commander, Col. Winfield Scott, was captured, and every commissioned officer was either killed or wounded. On the British side, General Brock lost his life and many an English soldier found his last resting-place near the historic banks of the Niagara River.
